OF THE MONTH:

Leaves maintenance and cleanups:

Fall is here. The temperature are slowly going down and we can already see the beautiful colors of the trees changing. We now see yellows, reds and browns. But beautiful autumn color quickly translates to leaves on your lawn.

When lush, healthy grass is your goal, ignoring fallen leaves isn't an option. But that doesn't mean raking and bagging leaves is the way. Mulching leaves into your lawn is easier and better for your lawn and the environment. Mulching leaves can also make your lawn greener. The mulched material acts as a protective layer over your grass, helping it to retain nutrients and moisture during the fall and winter. This layer also helps insulate the grass from extreme temperatures, preventing the soil underneath from becoming too cold.

During Fall and Winter month, the crew priority is to blow the leaves off the grass. They mulch* them with the mowers, then blow the dust off the lawn. *We do not bag leaves to avoid waste and recycling process. The extra leaves in the beds are cleaned up little by little at each visits. The maintenance crew does a little bit at each service. By the end of the Winter all the leaves should be removed.

We offer cleanups if you wish for us to remove all the leaves in one service.

TALK OF THE MONTH: Fall and Winter are the best seasons to work on your outdoor space.

Can I plant shrubs and trees in the Fall?

Fall is a great time to address your landscaping needs. Roughly September through November ideally to allow the roots to become established before the ground freezes and winter sets in. Planting trees and shrubs in the Fall gives the plants a better chance for good root development before winter. Trees and shrubs planted in the Fall can establish their roots through the Fall, Winter, and Spring months so they are prepared to withstand our hot and humid Summers here in Georgia.

What is GA planting zone?

When buying plants, or searching for inspiration, it is always good to know what planting zone we are in. Most of Georgia falls into Zone 8, with only mountainous north Georgia remaining Zone 7.

We recommend plants labeled to grow in Zone 7 and warmer and I think most gardeners will have success with them.

Perfect time for Hardscaping projects and Drain Work:

There are many reasons why Fall and Winter are the best times of year to start hardscaping projects. The major reason is timing: build your hardscapes in Winter and you'll be able to enjoy them come Spring. Timing the design and constructions allows you to maximize your use of your hardscapes.

It is also perfect for drain work. Without proper drainage, you could easily find that water starts pooling up in different areas, often with the result of killing your lawn, trees, bushes or other plants. Worse still, poor drainage could also end up causing structural damage or cracks in the foundation should the water pool up next to the home.

OPTIMIZE SPACE

The best part of our job is to make homeowners happy, and make sure they can utilize their outdoor space the best way possible.
This bridge gives our client a beautiful link between two areas of their yard, and we were happy to make it happen!
We built the bridge, and added stone steps to the backyard. We also installed some gravel to create pathways. And we finally did a porch rejuvenation.

For this project, we created a new wall and a new walkway. We also added a new under deck with composite wood.

RETAINING WALL, PATIO, STEPS...

On this project we built a retaining wall, and added some steps. We created a small paver patio with a seat wall built-in. And to give a night life to this pretty little area we added hardscape lights. Turned out great!
